Anderson Cooper Comes Out and Admits being Gay: Has support from Celeb friends on Twitter

Today is the first time Anderson Cooper publicly made a statement about his sexuality. The CNN journalist told The Daily Beast columnist and gay rights activist Andrew Sullivan, “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself and proud.”

Cooper came out after being asked by Sullivan to comment on the idea of gay public figures. He was not trying to hide it before, he has already come out to his family and friends. Cooper felt that his personal life and beliefs was something he would not have to discuss publicly prior because he thought his life should remain private.
